Secure ID is great!

It is also a more expensive solution than SSH, which is free for the average non-commercial user.

However, secure ID does not insure the data in the session is secure; SSH does because the entire session in encrypted.

From my understanding of your Secure ID architecture, your company uses clear text passwords with Secure ID architecture to protect passwords.

If this is the case, from a cost-benefit security perspective, SSH provides a bit less password protection (it can be stolen and reused if written down, etc.) and a great deal more session protection.

If your company's risk-management profile is such that the data in the sessions are non-sensitive and breaking into the boxes are are prime concern, then Secure ID would better suit the risk profile, etc.

We could discuss this for hours...... perhaps in another thread?
